Second grade, Billy Simms

Second grade, Billy Simms
 Playing out by the jungle gym
 All the boys laughed at him
 For some sort of speech impediment
 And they knocked him down
 And I pushed them off
 And they kicked our asses
 'Cause we were the underdogs
 Seventh grade, Cindy Sloan
 Eating in the lunchroom all alone
 They called her strange, but I could see
 She was just different like me
 So I asked her over
 And she blew me off
 It made perfect sense to me
 'Cause we were the underdogs
 When everyone's above you, there's nowhere you can go
 When nobody calls you, 'cause it's all in who you know
 When the self-righteous say they're for you, telling you to win this fight
 Nobody understands you, no they don't know what it's like
 Freshman year, Judson Tate
 He didn't have a Homecoming date
 He asked me out, we never kissed
 We told each other our big secret
 He said he fell for James
 And James broke his heart
 And I understood him
 'Cause we were the underdogs
 When everyone's above you, there's nowhere you can go
 When nobody calls you, 'cause it's all in who you know
 When the self-righteous say they're for you, telling you to win this fight
 Nobody understands you, no they don't know what it's like
 Senior year, Billy Simms
 His parents said it was an accident...
